Listen to these Great Recorded Game Sessions

What would be the best videos or audios of RPG sessions that a new DM should watch or listen to?

Several great readers responded with their suggestions. Thanks!

1. Penny Arcade, I Hit It With My Axe

Carl,

I’m rather fond of the Penny Arcade podcasts. When D&D fourth edition debuted in 2008, Wizards of the Coast did a session with the guys from Penny Arcade and PvP. Future sessions added Wil Wheaton.

If you want video, I’d recommend “I Hit It With My Axe” from The Escapist. A word of warning, though: everyone who plays is in some form of adult entertainment, and though that’s not the focus of the show, it is occasionally mentioned.

For new players or DMs who are getting into D&D through D&D Encounters I recommend you check out the actual play podcasts in our D&D Encounters Archive. A new episode is posted after every weekly session. It’s also a good way for players joining the D&D Encounters mid-way through the season to get caught up on the story.
